ekko on team = rp is 1k higher than you belong
>>
Finally got gold despite all the fucking one and dones. Like damn. Darius assist is really fun throw out though. No clue when to apprehend tho
>>
>>562380654
At grandmaster+ yes but below Ekko's can't use what makes him broken. Those creatures just hop around and teleport behind you.
>>562381067
Always when in range but charge it 1/4 of times into frametrap button if they happen to parry. Gold will never block the overhead or interrupt throw
>>
>>562381405
Gotcha. Thanks for the advice!
>>
>>562381067
if you mean the assist, apprehend disables pushblock and retreating guard so it's best for when you're already on them with your point character and want to keep the pressure on.
as for on point, it's a great trick at almost every rank to just hold a charge apprehend at the end of your blockstring. people will do almost anything but the right choice (jump). they'll waste a parry and eat shit for it, they'll try to mash and eat shit for it, they'll try to backdash and eat shit for it, you name it, they'll fuck it up. after you do it once or twice, then you can start throwing in uncharged apprehends and really fuck with people.
this works in all elos, but it's harder to do in top ranks just because it's almost impossible to get someone to block darius for more than .1 second up there lol
>>
>>562381405
>At grandmaster+ yes but below Ekko's can't use what makes him broken. Those creatures just hop around and teleport behind you.
i strongly doubt low/mid elo players can deal with timewinder spam like, at all
>>
>>562382217
Noted! All of it! Is it THAT bad for Darius up there?
>>
>>562382670
i don't think he's bad. you can win games with him. the issue is that he doesn't bring anything to any team that another character doesn't do better in every way
felt better when you could actually blockstring bleed people to death but that was removed, which is understandable but also like... there's so much non-interactable gay shit in this game, and that's the 1 thing he has that would never happen at low elo, so like... why

It'd be nice if there were more ways to interact with characters behind you, as it is if you get into sandwich situations out of random scrambles or the like, there's not much you can do to stop the other person from just swapping behind you even if you have a chance to attack their assist

What the god damn fuck are these Japanese cooking?
>>
>>562486336
If it makes you feel any better there were two yas ekkos in the jp tourney and ikoan hasn't dropped them
Yas ekko stocks might go further down when akali comes out though since akali will be the dedicated point mix character from now on prolly, but it's not like the team is bad, just the metafags will be off it
>>
>>562489501
yeah it just annoys me, discussion around this game gets dumber every single day
i have legitimately seen people trying to put ekko not in top tier and saying yasuo isn't even top 5 anymore lol

yep, i do it all the time
people (my friend) like to be too cute with parry
parry is good, but it's also an easy way to instantly lose a round by dropping your point to 0 bar
>>
>>562499564
as if it wasn't already hard enough to deal with cait being able to vary the timing of her shots :wilted_rose:

speaking of parry,
anti yasuo stance hop tech: backdash~parry
beats the common options, and most importantly j[S1]

Yeah check my biggest hits kinda tuff no

leffen is shit at every fighting game he's ever played, the only reason he ever succeeded at strive is because happy chaos was that much more broken than every other character. he's played so many other games and can't get into any of them because he's carried garbage

if i don't end up liking akali im gonna pick up yasuo, fuck it

Midscreen reatreating guard and pushblock if used right stuffs a lot of offense, it's pretty big in 2xko defense and why the clip is so long + the obvious burst and burst baiting

>>562595164
lots of free time now that they're laid off

>>562597000
But... he's not!
It was Polkadot and he was toying with two egirls!
>>
kinda unrelated but you pop in a twitter page of a league or valorant dev, you can see them enjoying all types of games and some are pretty good at them, then you check 2xko dev and they are all talking fgs and nothing else at all lul, kinda shows the problem doesn't it
>>
>>562597794
idk bro one of the biggest complaints i see regarding league is how shit the devs are at it, how poorly they understand the game, and how because they're shit they have 0 idea of how to balance it. maybe the game would be more fun if they were good at it lol
>>
>>562597902
more like league is an extremely complex game that when you're introducing a new element, which they are forced to do every year, they can only test so much before getting it out for the public, who has all the time in the world to nitpick their mistakes, at least they know when to admit when they fuck up and roll things back, unlike fg devs
>>
>>562597971
>at least they know when to admit when they fuck up and roll things back
skarner status?
>>
>>562598016
nothing wrong with his rework, they just ultimate fail to make him popular, which was already the case so rolling back is pointless
>>
>>562598123
idk bro point is there have been so many bad decisions with that game over the years that took AGES to get undone
i'm not gonna pretend 2xko's devs aren't a bunch of inept retards though. imagine working on ekko for 10 years and thinking literally anything that character does is okay
>>
>>562598263
it literally does not matter anymore, league is entering a 2nd phase of popularity with league next in 2027, the devs can start fresh
>>
>>562598328
well it does matter re: the game not being fun due to the retards in control of it going out of their way to make it unplayable once or twice a month
is league picking back up? ik they're getting their new (not actually new) engine
>>
>>562598505
it's always been fun, funner than this dead shit game

hey kudos to you for having the kind of nerves that takes lol
if you watch any league streamer, big or small, for a day or two you'll see them crash the fuck out so if you're built different from literally everyone else that's epic
>>
>>562599575
i don't play the game as much as a streamer lol
if i play any game intensively like that it'd get on my nerves, why are we comparing a regular person's experience to a full-time streamer's? you're honestly retarded
>>
>>562598529
Solo queue in lol is a joke, and duos in 2xko is the far superior social gaming experience than lol unless you're five stacked, and even then it's still shit if you're not all similar skill levels
The only thing I'd give lol over is that there are more alternate game modes and there's more time for parasocial conversations in your game to distract you from the fact that you're playing lol
>>
>>562600329
not everyone who streams games does it full-time or even frequently but everyone who streams league will crash out

Not impossible but I can't imagine she's a priority. I otp'd her after coming back to lol last year so personally I'd love it but I imagine that adding such a recent character when so many beloved OGs are missing would upset most people

I think Gwen would get in first

Patch note blogpost will drop a day earlier. Take a bet. All in for beating dead horse Yasuo with dozen nerfs. Being top 1 once for a game caring about social media for their monthly patches is hell.
>>
>>562613415
there is a 0 percent chance that they don't buff him again. the community outcry for him has been outrageous with pros downplaying the living fuck out of him and the playerbase desperate to get mixed again because they're such happy cucks. same with ekko now that they think he's balanced for some reason but it might take 1 more patch before his buffs start coming in

Reading and trying combo notations 1st time without video evidence and "delay till they fall to shoulder height after jump medium" makes you question if they got patched out never working but at the same time they aren't hard enough too quick am I alone with that

I play all fighting games and give them all a chance. I didn't even insult 2xko. The person I'm responding too is more than likely ass at all fighting games and hasn't even played enough to have a decent opinion on what's good.

ive been playing fighters since sf2 on snes i have 1k hrs in sf games on steam and 1k hrs in guilty gear games on steam. reached master in sf6 and was celestial every month i played strive (dropped it before they added a real ranked mode in year fucking... 3 i think? LOL)

She steps on the toes of Warwick so definitely not soon. But she is popular, the most popular of recent champs I'd say. Her design also favors a fighter but we know these aspects don't mean shit to how the devs pick whose coming.

>>562633065
Models are good but the animations are indeed jank as hell. Mainly the problem is a lack of oomph and the flying looking weightless.
>>
>>562639613
They probably either skip it or go "neat" then forget about it, worst case they think it's just a league of legends ad

Patch notes soon
>>
Ost for kali is out, and it likely confirms that she will come out with her own dedicated stage still
I'm guessing it'll be part of her early unlock bundle since there isn't a new battle pass
>>
>>562716731
Unlock events are neat for a their free cosmetics. Helps for those pesky casuals to gain whole roster especially when starting late in to its lifecycle.

With current size it's overkill. Takes like 20 hours for all characters and maybe 80 hours until you bought every taunt, color, cosmetics for 2-4 characters and free credits turn obsolete. Wonder how many people spend money on anything but skins.
>>
The more I look at the Akali 2XKO redesign, the worse it gets
Like, how did they fucked it up that bad?
Why did they fuck it up?
Why do they need to reinvent the wheel?
It fucking reeks of an "up and coming artist" attempt at "putting a modern spin on a classic design!"
Like, why cover her back?
Why give her some gay baggy pants with some fucking sneakers?
Why give her a fucking sideshave?
Why give her a comically large and puffy ponytail?
Why give her a fucking manface?
She looks so ass
Like, actually so bad
I think I'm done with the game, like genuinely
>>
>>562722094
>Why give her some gay baggy pants with some fucking sneakers?
>Why give her a fucking sideshave?
They know that the majority of the fg is minorities so they thought a more urban look would be a hit
>Like, why cover her back?
>Why give her a comically large and puffy ponytail?
>Why give her a fucking manface?
She was too feminine and sexually appealing it was obviously problematic and had to be changed
>>
>>562725134
>They know that the majority of the fg is minorities
You can say niggers
They were trying to appeal to niggers
>>
They released a separate single with akali too, they really want her kda audience

>>562739713
I can't believe it took them this long to change it, people were asking about it from day 1
>>
>>562739713
Akali's launch skin, her blood moon skin is available during evo
>>
>You can no longer perform parry after Handshake Tagging for 15 frames.
Hitler is dead
>>
Break gain increase is massive you will go empty meter to auto cancel 10 seconds+ combos. Indirect Double Down buff
>>
Huge patch for evo, vi and illaoi charged moves into tag got the teemo treatment, ekko can't rewind to beat break, tag parry got removed, and darius got a one frame buff on his assist
It's like everything people were asking for
>>
darius unchanged, blitz "better 2h" and a bunch of placebo
i think it's very funny that they're removing the 1 hit of shield on braum's super
some decent nerfs to ekko but surprised vi illaoi and ahri mostly got away with it all
biggest changes seem to be system stuff
>>
>>562743989
oh, also i think it's cute that they're letting us buy akali immediately with 10k credits or a token
would've been nice to know ahead of time though
>>
realizing that they're not nerfing any of the shit that ACTUALLY makes illaoi good because of w bleed lol
>>
honestly though i don't mind that this is a smaller patch. the last one wasn't very long ago and they actually hit ekko's rewind beating EVERYTHING which is one of my biggest points of annoyance + his install ends when he's hit by anything. i might actually start rematching him now
>>
The biggest winner of the patch, both their normals got buffed a fair bit
Cait getting to do her follow up shot if her first bullet got parried is huge, and the assist buff is nice
>>
>>562746257
>Cait getting to do her follow up shot if her first bullet got parried is huge
i didn't read her section because i don't play her and don't understand her well enough to know but uhhh
what the fuck
i'm so fucking doomed dude
>>
>>562741262
>undercut removed
how hard was that
>>
I don't think this fighter is for me lads it feels too floaty like the animations just don't have that snappy feeling
but maybe I am just trying to force myself to play a tag fighter when I don't really like tag fighters
>>
>>562746384
It was so punishing against the faster characters who could run up full screen punish after one parry, she needed the zoning buffs
>>
so I wonder what you people are thinking, like it's obvious to anyone that the game will shut down, if not this year then next year for certain.
what is your perspective on that, like you are playing a game you know will shut down, and it's a live service game, you probably won't be able to play it again, or maybe there's gonna be an emulator and it's gonna be some really niche discord fighter.
do you guys think about that or do you just not care that you are putting time into a dead end?
>>
gotta enjoy things while they last buddy
>>
>>562748708
the thing is I really enjoyed old league of legends, and a lot of people I know did, but we can never go back and play it, we are fucked, it's like the game is erased from existence, and I never got bored of playing it, so there's always that feeling of incompleteness in my mind.
it's probably going to be different with this one because emulating it will be much easier.
>>
>>562748468
yeah that's fair, i'm happy for you

>>562748587
all things in life are transient
>>
>>562745725
Lmao they didn't nerf illaoi command grab being safe on whiff, she can still smoke you for trying to jump out
>>
>>562750176
yeah they didn't nerf anything with her tentacles i don't think. really weird stuff because pros have been putting her in top tier for quite some time
>>
>new content
>character release grind for free2play fags
>feature that should have been available on release and is dependent on if you play with people locally
>offline tournament bullshit that has nothing to with the game itself
The fact that new cosmetics takes up twice the space is exactly why this game is in the gutter. Riot should have out sourced the entire game to a Japanese or Chinese company.
>>
>>562753362
if the cosmetic things were smaller you wouldn't be able to see what characters were included in them

Extra patch clarification, looks like it was actually intended to be a zoner buff patch
Zoning won

>>562755568
<200 players
>>
New lobby, themed lobbies are going to be cool, I wonder if it'll have the same ost or get some new songs for every lobby event
>>
>>562755993
why would the patch notes post have 1400 likes if only 200 people are playing the game?
>>
also forgot to mention, darius DID get a big buff in the form of the active tag changes. i cannot tell you how many FUCKING times i've pressed 5L to jab an assist, only for them to active tag, press their faster 5L, and I eat shit for it. this change is nice

>>562756095
this is very neat desu
>>
>>562756095
>new lobby
>look inside
>slight recolor with a new wallpaper
>>
This patch is looking great honestly. Shocked SB is being used without Yone though since that's HIS skinkine. They'll probably do a wave 2 with Akali Riven and him.
>>562756426
I saw the two lines of Darius "changes" and went "ohhhhh no." Cause if you, but at least something good came out if it!
>>
>>562757856
i'm not convinced the meter build changes are gonna matter much, both super meter and break meter, especially bc they've changed those a few times in the past and we're still being ahri super looped to this very day, but the active tag changes genuinely look really good
perhaps this is an indicator of yone (though if the skinline returns i need my big scary oni darius desu)
the zoners all getting buffed is really scary though i may be cooked
>>
you fags will all drop this dogshit when tokon releases
>>
>>562759235
>he thinks i'm falling for the arcsys meme again
lol they're not even fixing happy chaos in ggst they're making him even more fucked
i'm not paying 70 bucks for wallbreaks big dog but i hope you enjoy it. they'd have to bring out some real laser-targeted-at-me characters to get me to play it, and they'd need a lot since you need FOUR fucking dudes to build a team and currently the only char in that game i like is wolverine
>>
>>562758721
Oh yeah Darius does have a SB skin huh? Alas I must wait for mine. Kinda hope they give us an option to change our lobby themes. Would be sick. But yeah Yonefriend convinced they're never adding "China's favorite" to the games despite that a team up with his brother is right there kek.
>>562759235
I'm on Xbox so probably not. Also I already play enough Rivals for my Cap fill.
>>
>>562759676
Eve has a nice spirit blossom skin too, I hope she gets in
Them putting out a rap song for akali release is definitely a sign they're aware that people still want kda, so I could see one of the other two kda members getting in and getting a bundle together
>>
>>562759676
yone is a pretty big no brainer imo, any ionia champ would be though
>>
>>562764594
It's her prettiest skin for me. But yeah I saw that rap stuff too and am hoping it's for KDA, but Qiyana is the dark horse of that too. I have no doubt they'd all get in, but I want my wife first kek. I think Leffen had said something like that too. That after the Arcane bundle they'd replace it with a KDA bundle which I can totally see them doing.
>>562766336
True. I think him and Sett have the best chance of getting in. Then Zed and Kayn
>>
>diaphone (charge tag vi/illaoi comp) crying on twitter
this patch might be goated
>>
>>562755365
if true thats truly disastrous, and Riot might not even bother finishing the year and kill everything at once
>>
>>562769694
i wouldnt just buy whatever bum says, dude's probably the game's biggest hater outside of twitter randoms
dude's a fucking moron too, managed hoc so bad the thing had to close down for like a year because he didn't know he had to pay taxes or some shit like that

>>
>faster burst gain
>limit strike meter gain nerf
>retreating guard and parry meter gain nerf
>ahri meter gain nerf
a bit concerning, but at least it isn't breaking routes and her general game plan
>>
one thing that's been bothering me are the tag out rules
certain characters can cancel certain moves after certain other moves after being tagged out
and which moves on which characters are completely arbitrary
>>
>>562774450
i think it's gonna be a huge nuthingburger
they've made changes like this before and it hasn't been a big deal
>>
>>562775092
bursting ahri after she uses super1 is a good way to put her offline
she'll then deal bottom1 tier damage from certain starters
the patch will be giving people more burst, and ahri less meter
>>
157
>>
>>562774785
They do it purely by what ever they feel like in the name of balance, they took out caits tag out trap shoot too after nerfing Darius puppet sequence last patch
>>
>>562773726
God willing
>>
>>562748587
I'm honestly playing for the plat. There's that sort of phenom that happens when something goes offline and it's not available anymore, like PT. So I'll keep playing for that and play off and on afterwards.

Also it's sort of why I tolerated playing Smash Ult: it was the only way to play Sephiroth and Sora and Joker. etc. in that capacity.

>>562725269
undercuts are not an urban thing and we don't really like them like that

>>562673160

Oh yeah, the combo meter and break meter change is a secret buff for all big bodies since their combos are shorter naturally, and they benefit the most from more break meter from longer combos since they have more health and can potentially tank more damage and regain more break
>>
woah holy fuck
I literally learned suboptimal combos because I hated how inconsistent her fucking medium was for converting this is crazy

>>562787643
Was this yesterday? Swear to God I was watching this
>>
>>562787238
yep, the characters that deal big damage quickly are probably guaranteed to still be able to 2-touch,
and the rest will possibly have to play a 3-touch game

So I guess with the parry change, Cait not getting a followup shot on shooting through projectiles was actually intentional, it wasn't listed under bug fix
Guess they thought cait potentially getting a full combo through beating other projectiles was too good

if this becomes a reset based game then we're literally going to have to memorize every single possible reset setup on every single team of characters and be ready to tech the air grab or the reset hit after
oh god oh fuck
like there's no way it gets THAT bad but im not looking forward to it, getting hit with a reset (and resetting people) feels so fucking grimy every time
>>

This is just sad. Also if tomorrow the fucking in game chat is still broken; riot is definitely shutting this game down by the end of the year.

>>
Spring blossom ahri soon
>>
>>562817242
Holding down to fast fall avoids all air grab resets and 0,1% of players labbed a grey combo in case they expect you to go for that.

I love that approach keeps long combos in theory but in practice it's much closer to early Japan meta where they went for short routes to build least amount of break.

>>562877072
it's going to be a few days until i can unlock her
she seems significantly better. even just "can now followup with another bullet even if you parry it" is gamechanging, im scared

>>562875332
>casually does the hardest akali combo
i swear youre built different lol. the damage is crazy but at least it builds a full bar of burst :^)
>>
>>562875332
Akali has to have the lowest base health no, she looks like she'd die to a light breeze if thats 766
>>
>>562878405
she dies to 900 damage, and survives 880, so most likely 900
>>
>>562878089
lol.. it's actually not executionally difficult, desu
yasuo's sweaty combos are harder
just mindfucky to think about the walljumps
it's really cool that the wall jumps are actually relevant for her, because ww's.. basically an unused part of his kit
>>
i had some weeklies left over (play ahri and yasuo, do dmg with them, etc) so im doing them and man. yasuo and ahri are both pretty fun to play. i'll never play ahri for personal reasons but having actual movement is really nice

>>562879514
hmm... i guess it'll come with time. she feels so awkward to me in every way rn
>>
>>562877416
and even sillier, she can cancel any of those into teleport + assist
>>
>>562875691
Ahri akali looks pretty good, was watching the jam for a bit, akali s2 can set up ahris triple overhead since it lasts so long, and vice versa
>>
>>562881815
>i had some weeklies left over
storing weeklies for chars you don't play seems to be a good idea desu. you could prob unlock a new character in 1 day of playing if you saved enough

>>
Wtf this actually got stealth nerfed and it wasn't in the patch notes, though it might have been a bug fix since cait's eject didn't work like the other characters I tried this with
They changed the area the character lands after cait ejects someone, so if cait wants to cross up she has to walk much farther now and you can't cross up in the corner anymore, it's vaguely reactable now instead of a straight guess on incoming
>>

Lmao the schizo seethe for playing neutral
Akali's movement looks crazy
>>
>>562910903
it's been so long since i've had a functional double jump
she feels REALLY good to move around with
>>
>>562906486
>>562906678
this looks evil
but damn yeah her assists seem really weak. was hoping to make it work but it might be a struggle with darius, he needs a good assist to have a chance hrmrm...

>>562907796
i think if you want to play her you should try to stick with her for at least a week or two before you decide it's not gonna work out
there's always growing pains when learning a new character, because you're so used to being able to do your character's stuff that it feels like "how the hell can i not do the basics on this guy" you feel me
>>
>>562910480
cause the game is run by the nigger brothers, get a white man or an asian to make games, not fking blacks and indians

fuck off with this shit anon damn

>>562914420
dude just genuinely cannot fathom people enjoying their game bro
you go look at any other fg general and it's just people pissing and crying about how much they hate their games and 0 actual discussion let alone clips (which especially makes sense in sfg considering dix is unclippably dogshit)
>>
>>562907796
while there's tons of sweaty stuff for akali,
you could just learn this generic combo and be 90% of the way there

the only trick to the combo is delaying the first jH after 2H jc, both times
and then every other part of the combo is autotimed
>>
more practice tomorrow morning
we're sleepy

akali's so fun, i love her movement so much... not sure how to go about opening people up yet.

>>562915894
ohhh, ty anon, don't mind if I do, that doesn't seem that hard. the loops visually look a bit wack, though, lol.
>>
>Max playing 2XKO
Akali really saved the game...
>>562913294
Yeah you're probably right. She feels so alien compared to Ahri. I still need to see if that 3H, jump cancel, into air 2H is optimal cause if so. I am boned.
>>
>>562915894
Neat!

probably nothing dude
i'll probably never enjoy anything again

>>562936731
>no execution
if they put your ass in a room with no food or water and you could only leave if you finished cait expert 5 you'd die
>>
>>562936731
There's no modern game with harder combos and it's nice to find your own route because many are viable sacrificing either a little or more damage, lower break gain, closer or farther corner carry.
Hard to take you serious. You're only here for unfathomed hate as entertainment.
>>
>>562936731
Do Akali's Expert 5 right now.
>>
Double Assist > Freestyle ? Handshake parry gone
>>
he made that 2 days prior to release...
>>
Watching day 1 matches is hilarious. By this time a Sf6 character would be solved and all you see from Akali is spaghetti and dropped combos
>>
>>562945492
he's been theory crafting since her trailer vids lol
>>
ok akali backflipping for every backdash is kinda heat
they should give that to qiyana when she comes out too her backflip animation after her crit animation is the best
>>
>>562875332
expert 5: 2H j2HH [S2] wj j2HH 5M2H ...
new: 2H jH [S2] wj j2HH dj2HH 2H ...
it's both easier to do, and higher damage
win/win
>>
>>562950479
>By this time a Sf6 character would be solved
lol what? They get figured out quickly but not that quickly. Look at Mai for example. People thought she was "Meh" at first and she turned out to be a monster.
>>
akali's walking backward animation is pretty sexo
>>
The year plan, there's actually 6 champs coming out and duo queue coming out next month
>>
>>562956779
that's pretty cool, but it took them 3 months to release akali
3 months between champs means 4 champs a year
>>
not even a korean artist can save the 2xko akali design :pensive:

kek
>>
>>562957292
>3 months between champs means 4 champs a year
that's a literal official graphic, why are would this be your response lol

>>562956779
I wonder what the new fuse will be when they've left freestyle the way it is this whole time, they've even acknowledged several times that it is way too popular and drowning out the other fuses competetively
They've power crept every champ release so far, so I'd guess they intend the new fuse to be good
>>
>>562953579
sf6 playerbase is simply dumber
anyone with half a brain could tell you that bitch was disgusting the minute they showed her, i myself was saying it day 1
same with ed

idk how else they're gonna do it unless its like xayah and rakan and they do a double drop or smth

I like this game, but I would love it if it had air dashes and neutral would be so much better.... There is a reason 99% of tag games have them

>Riven
>Yone?
>mystery nigga?
Honestly I can't imagine them being able to push out another champ to release in 2026 unless they're heavily reusing assests or they finally unscrapped Katarina which would be redundant since Akali seemingly just does what she does.

if this game was 1v1 I would have played it, I almost got baited a few times, but then I watch a match and fuck off.
today I got interested cause of akali, opened leffen's stream and saw how he had 1 character in front of the enemy and another behind and I closed the stream
>>
>>562971165
So it occurred to me that the next champ shouldn't be Riven then since she would had to been part of original plan. This mystery champ must be super quick to make. Garen? Yone?
>>
illaoi's normal tentacle oki has to die dude
>>
>>562972783
Hopes:
They finally fixed Katarina and DIDN'T redesign her to be woke and ugly like Akali.
Fears:
It's Yone.
Reality:
It's another PoC champ no one cares about

LoL is still huge even if it had a slight downturn. I agree that the game has gone to shit, but gooks and chinks will still play it anyway because they're enslaved
Valorant is still popular with SEAmonkeys, for whatever reason
But yeah, every single other attempt they have made at expanding has flopped. Which is probably for the best. Fuck Riot. I was excited for the MMO at one point, but now I know that the MMO is vaporware and will never see the light of day. And even if it did, it would 100% be pure unfiltered dogshit

i don't think you can handshake parry headless anymore guys

you can't use your token to buy akali?
>>
>>563007714
>LoL is still huge even if it had a slight downturn.
it is huge but it's falling down fast and will soon smash into the ground. their operating costs are too high, LEC is run at a yearly loss of $15 million, they hope to get that and more back through selling skins but I don't know a single person around me who still plays the game, when a few years ago everyone and their mom did. that's why they added WASD controls, and that's why they are remaking the game next year.
a korean ex pro I watched said the game is dying fast in korea because no new people are picking it up, they see it as a grandpa game, NA is the region with the biggest loss of players and viewers, and for China I don't know but even though there's a lot of chinese their country is a commie shithole and I find it hard to see that the average factory worker will spend the little money he gets on league skins
>>
>>563007908
my gut reaction to that webm is 'that is not a good thing'
when random fullscreen supers are on the table, it results in players playing way less proactive, and way more turtley
>>
>>563009591
okay, but consider this
>costs 1 meter
>doesn't give oki
>it's the character's one and only tool for dealing with projectiles and zoning
which is worse: an entire archetype being able to just shut me out completely and i lose on character select, or me having 1 metered option to deal with it
also, people already play turtley as fuck against darius, 99% of my matches is just chasing backdashers lol

you all used your credit card?

>>
>>563032118
no they're all stuff like "play x char 10 times" and "do 5k damage with x char"
depending on how long you've been away it should go by pretty easily

I unlocked Akali after two days of playing and doing a few of the character specific weeklies I didn't bother doing before, you can do the f2p unlock mission so easily

Why does every fighting game make the highly popular waifu character hard to play?
>>
>>563036669
This a good question. I guess to filter the real Akalifags from the secondaries
>>
>>563036669
To spread character usage evenly. Look at Sf6 Mai easy + sexy = 25% of playerbase stick to her.
Meanwhile a KoF Angel does it right. She needs a lot of work to be put in if they want to choose a main based on their peepee.
Akali is a pitslut but based on her difficulty she can afford to have d cups and half the amount of clothes

Played a bunch of pulse combo juggernaut akali
She has easily the best movement, akali can run circles around big body characters and play the footsies game dashing in and out extremely well
It was a serious struggle doing well with her since akali with bad combos does negative damage, and half her specials are designed to be used with assists, but she's really fun to move around in neutral with
Even if you don't know any crazy assist setups, you'll be able to get pretty far just working on moving around with her in matches and having any half decent combo/tag launcher route
>>
>>563043245
>you'll be able to get pretty far just working on moving around with her in matches and having any half decent combo/tag launcher route
this is kind of my goal with her, just using her to get in, mix, and then tag to darius

I can't wait for the inevitable seethe of the shill influencers, especially since they are probably also going to hate the fact that Strive patch nerfed stuff instead of buffing. Will be fun to see Sajam struggling to keep his fake nice guy persona while seething over the Strive patch.
>>
>>563050515
The irony is the Strive patch is good, they saw the power level being an issue and reigned it back.
Meanwhile 2xkos devs make badly designed broken characters.
>>
>>563050169
Why is she posing like she's urban
>>
>>563050717
2xko patch is goated. Less super meter gain, lower damage, higher burst gain, active tag nerf, local duos online. Akali has broken mix but a lot of flaws like hugging level of damage on tight execution and high break gain, worst assists, being coverup assist hungry herself. I don't wanna go back to Strive due to its fanbase which you are a prime example for.

>We look at the data to determine if any champion has a surprisingly high Pick Rate or Win Rate. Specifically, Pick Rate is our most important metric, as at the highest levels of play, individual player performance can impact win rates. If Ekko is seen in 40% of matches (it has never gotten this high) it implies that he is a must-pick champion, even if Ekko has a 50% win rate

I think he's super cool. Essentially a cryptid for Ionia that hunts demons, or the weeb versions that go by Azakana, after his brother Yasuo killed him (Riven's fault btw). Then in Spirit Blossom was going to pass on till a demon/azakana decided to suck on his face. Thus bringing him back with powers like a demon.

define "good" because while he's very popular and people enjoy playing him because he's fun and "cool" (subjective) he's almost equally as infamous and people dislike playing against him. I think most people agree that outside of gameplay he's completely fine tho and in a fightan game setting he probaby wont be nearly as cancer as his brother

If you aren't doing any actions you can press something during super freeze, I'm think I remember seeing that it's like this so you can press parry during the freeze and have it come out
Also because I think Ive pressed a button accidentally during freeze and got smoked when I was blocking before they supered
>>
>>563145487
i'm guessing it might not work, because the teleport probably doesn't start up fast enough to become 'active' and invincible
in the clip, i was already just randomly pressing teleport, so it was already much later into its startup
>>
>>563145487
>Also because I think Ive pressed a button accidentally during freeze and got smoked when I was blocking before they supered
this does indeed happen and it drives me fucking nuts
if you're on the ground and catch yourself accidentally pressing a button during the flash, you can press parry and cancel it into that but if you're in the air i think you're fucked

One more question: isn't air schmix kinda bad? You always need an assist for it to be tight otherwise 1 frame is enough for late 2h and blow you up. Only air crossup makes sense as 2h doesn't autocorrect fast enough and you have to hold plus frames

1f is not enough, because 2h has some startup before its air invincible properties become active

It doesn't work for LoL either, it's one of the worst balanced games I've ever played.
Riot always tried to turn everything into a process, mostly because they hire incompetents so they don't know what they are doing.
They even published a chart once, something like if a champ has 40% winrate then he will get a nerd, if he has 50% then he will get reworked.
It's the most incompetent game dev company in history, you guys will learn soon enough. The reason why the cannons were able to turn the 2xko into nepomaxxing land is because riot was always like that, around 2012 was an exodus of all the skilled individuals and the execs brought in all their friends, initially they released a new champ every 2 weeks, but now they release a champ every half a year and it has a braindead copy paste kit that they already released 10 times in the past, usually having to do with doing extra damage on the 3rd basic attack hit.

>>563258995
the attacking portion whiffing over the low to the ground opponent is fine, and reasonable
attacks can whiff over crouching opponents

but when a move is designed to 'teleport behind the opponent',
and it does not 'teleport behind the opponent',
it doesn't make sense

it's unintuitive and the opposite of 'well made', imo

it ain't bothering me yet but i haven't got much play time with her either

>>
>>563280618
It's the devs way of trying to eat their cake and have it too: They allow 50 hit combos that last 40 seconds to appease comboboar autists while also making the optimal combo rather short in an effort to appeal to those that dislike long combo autism. In practice you get worst of both worlds, combo autists are displeased because they feel like they aren't properly rewarded for their autism and people with functional brains will still occasionally have to sit there for 40 seconds twiddling their thumbs while nothing interesting happens.
>>
>>563282765

>>
>>563281521
More like there's no reason to do this combo if you just want a limit strike ender, imo longer combos will still be worth to go for it if you want to dump meter and put them down at one character with fury left
Almost every optimal combo had a built in way to get limit strike or choose to extend and dump more meter, so you'd see people do the same long combo route every time since there wasn't any reason not to
For the viewing experience it'll be better if people are forced to learn a different combo route and vary more what they do, and desu big body fags needed the buff since the optimal combos two touched them like every other character

When I'm knocked down and blitzcrank comes next to me to try and grab me I hold up like in any other fighter to jump so he can't grab me but he grabs me before my jump activates, how does this braindead game work?
>>
>>563309120
this game has a wakeup roll option, that's performed by inputting back or up+back (?)

what's happening is your char is rolling, which is punishable by grab

so first you avoid the roll input window, and then you hold upback, up, or upforward
>>
>>563309403
I don't understand what you are saying, I'm not rolling I am literally holding up, I'm on a keyboard so there is no chance of inputting a directional up, I am holding straight up and I'm getting grabbed straight out of wakeup.
>>
>>563310662
if you're literally holding straight upwards, then you would jump out of the grab
are you talking about his level 3 super, and trying to jump during the screen freeze?
>>
>>563310730
No it's his his normal grab not the super, I am literally holding W on my keyboard at all times after being knocked down, I did it 3 times in a row and got grabbed 3 times...

you niggas baited me that akali is hard and the scooby doo combos in this game arent braindead, downloaded this shit, loaded the combo trials went into some random shit advanced combo 4 and did it in 10 minutes and it only took this long because I don't play this shit and forgot where which button is.

this scooby doo game is so easy and the inputs are so lenient u can just fuck up, take a snore, then figure out u fucked up and still press a button and it will work.
>>
also this guy is right >>563305761
why is there no combo trial list in the menu, there is only next combo and previous combo.

I have to exit the whole combo trial to pick another one from the list, people actually take this game seriously?

this is something xrd had in 2014, I laugh.

Best turnout for this game would be getting 3 years of support after the first year with 4 characters per year.
>>
>>563321193
you can't actually be this delusional...
3 years of support for this game?
there could have been 1 year of extra support if the game was paid and they made an initial decent amount of money, but losing money for 3 more years on top of the existing 10 years?
even I'm not delusional enough to believe that could ever happen

I worked at a startup that was doing badly and shut down. The practices that I see with the store selling little and asking for a lot and having bundles like that is exactly the same practice that startup did to recoup some of the losses before shutting down, and everyone who bought anything just lost it in the end with no warning before.
This is why I don't buy anything in this game even though I have an interest in some skins, I know that it's money going in the sink.

In the corner akali can super into super solo, you can get her throw super after her shuriken super

>>
>>563327915
seems tough to do
is there a good setup for it?
>>
barely kills 900 hp
>>
>>563329424
It might have to do with her height when she does the first super

hm.. neat
seems pretty accessible
>>
not only does the fireball make akali's overhead plus on block,
ahri also starts regenning her cd, opening up akali's 3H blockstring immediately after
>>
>>563333563
crazy ass stuff
>>
very nice option to have
shame about the burst buildup, as usual

damn he didn't even say shit about tuko... invincibros are we jobbers?
>>
So wait. Is Senna dropping in like 30 days? When this BP ends I assume?
>>
>>563340840
idk about that but she'll definitely be sooner than people were expecting
>>
>>563340998
I only ask since Caitlyn dropped with her fat ass arcane skin. So u figured they'd drop a fat ass skin with Senna in the pass
>>
>>563342339
since champ recruitment events are separate from BPs, i wouldn't expect it every time, but it feels possible
>>
>no lee sin
>no zed
>no katarina
>no riven
>but we got senna tho
fuck riot
fucking retards
>>
dead shit game
>>
im learning akali
whats the easiest but also best bnb ty bros
>>
960 damage
if i come up with a less poverty freestyle usage, it'll probably bump up to 975
>>
>>563350951
2H starters aren't as reliable as 3H, so i'd recommend this one now
the trickiest part is the microdash 2H delayed j2H, and the rest is easy
>>
and this is the most beginner friendly version,
with the only tricky part being the slightly delayed j2H at the start
then the rest is free timing

the main downside is that it doesn't truly corner-to-corner carry
>>
>>563347624
Lee sin is so boring. Worse than a PnZ rep I'd say
>>
>>563350951
I love plus sized women!

qiyana is really short, though
she's just super curvy

Last time I did it someone else made one and it annoyed me
>>
this fucking game man idk why shit in this game pisses me off more than any other besides smash. So certain moves can knock you out of your super animation but Jinx's bullets can't stop Yasuo's dash super fuck that man
>>
>>563363924
Yas dash super is projectile invul on purpose
I don't mind it, you can hit him out of it with a normal actually
>>
>>563363924
Also if you're doing your jinx blockstring with bullets and Yas tries to invul super through you can just call assist handshake and block it like so
>>
Okay I will bake
